Requirements

• A fundamentally good human.
• Mission-driven operator with deep commitment to Human Agency's values and vision
• No ego. No job description. You do whatever the job requires.
• Self-managing problem solver — the last thing a CEO or Founder wants is someone they have to manage
• AI-first mindset — you use AI as a force multiplier across everything you touch
• Builder mentality — you've shipped something. Attach proof of something you've built with AI to either your application or cover letter.
• Generalist with range — you don't need to be an expert in any one thing, but you need to be dangerous across many things
• 5-7+ years in high-performing environments such as management consulting, venture capital/private equity, business development, or startup leadership positions
• Demonstrated success in taking ambiguous, complex initiatives and driving them to completion, you're the person who makes hard things happen
